Hello Dudu Koren,

I understand that you're having trouble with your project list not showing up in Trados Studio 2022 after upgrading from Trados Studio 2019, and your GroupShare server list disappearing. I'm here to help you resolve this issue.

Here are the steps you can follow:

Step 1: Close Trados Studio 2022.

Step 2: Locate and rename the file called 'projects.xml' in the following directory: C:\Users\yourname\Documents\Studio 2022\Projects. You can rename it to something like 'projects_old.xml'.

Step 3: Find and rename the folder named 'SDLTradosStudio.exe' in this directory: C:\Users\yourname\AppData\Roaming\RWS\Platform\Identity. You can rename it to 'SDLTradosStudio_old.exe'.

Step 4: Restart Trados Studio 2022.

Step 5: Go to File -> Setup -> Servers and re-add the connection to your GroupShare server.

Step 6: Try to open your project again in a new empty folder.

Please note that these steps are similar to the ones you've seen for Studio 2021, but the paths have been updated for Studio 2022.

As for Trados Studio 2019 still working after the upgrade, it's not uncommon for previous versions to continue functioning, but it's recommended to use the latest version for optimal performance and features.

I hope this helps! If you have any other questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask.

Hi,

I had the same issue, but imho the answer given needs a small, but relevant update:

- As indicated by Dudu, after upgrading from 2021 tot 2022 all my existing projects did not show up in the Projects tab

- Following the instructions or the RWS Comunity Support AI, I closed Trados Studio 2022 (Step 1) and then tried to find  projects.xml (attention: not project.xml). I found it in the folder  "This PC -> Documents  -> Studio 2021 -> Projects"

- As indicated in Step 2, I copied this file to "This PC -> Documents  -> Studio 2022 -> Projects", renaming it projects_old.xml. This renaming however, is something you should NOT do, as because of this your existing projects still won't show up in the Project tab. Just replace the new (2022) file projects.xml by your old projects.xml (2021) file is all you should do.

As for Step 3, the directory in my case was not C:\Users\yourname\AppData\Roaming\RWS\Platform\Identity, but C:\Users\yourname\AppData\Roaming\SDL\Platform\Identity (so not RWS but SDL.

I hope this helps,

Peter

Hi,

Thanks for the answer, but something doesn't figure out: I don't have this path on my desktop "This PC -> Documents -> Studio 2021 -> Projects". In fact there is no "Documents" folder under "This PC", and there is a "Documents" folder under C:\Users\myrname\, but it is empty. I m working with a desktop PC (not laptop) with Windows 10. 

Dudu

Since my PC (laptop with Windows 10) does not 'speak' English, I backtranslated the path, so maybe it has a different name on your pc. In any case, you should try to find the folder "Studio 2021"  (or an older version of Studio if you use an older version). In my case it's the default location chosen by the Studio software.

If you can't find it in C:\Users\myrname\Documents, try C:\Users\Default\Documents.  Or try any other folder under Users.

Otherwise ask just somebody you know with general Windows knowledge to help you locate this folder ( "Studio 2021") on your pc.

Good luck!

Peter

Please ignore my previous message.

With a little help from my friend, I got as far as to C:\Users\DUDU KOREN\AppData\Roaming\SDL\Platform\Identity, but I can't find file named "Projects".

Dudu

That's the path to folder SDLTradoStudio.exe, the "Studio 2021" is on a diiferent location

Try this:

- Start Studio

- Click the tab  File left op top

- Go to Setup

- Click Locations: you now see the path to the current project folder (Studio). In my case C:\Users\Peter\Documents\Studio 2022\Projects

- The file with the old project was just one level above: C:\Users\Peter\Documents\Studio 2021\Projects

I hope this helps!

Here's a version of my pely above without typo's

That's the path to folder SDLTradoStudio.exe, the "Studio 2021" is on a different location

Try this:

- Start Studio

- Click the tab  File left on top

- Go to Setup

- Click Locations: you now see the path to the current project folder (Studio). In my case C:\Users\Peter\Documents\Studio 2022\Projects

- The file with the old projects was just one level above: C:\Users\Peter\Documents\Studio 2021\Projects

I hope this helps!

Thanks! I found it here: D:\Studio 2022\Projects.

I copied Projects.xml from my older Studio (2019, where I upgraded from), restarts Studio (2012 and the projects now show. Great! but I figure that further working with Studio 2022 will only update the Studio 2022 project list, but NOT the one of Studio 2019.

Well, that is a significant progress, thanks a lot!
